doubt it makes much of a difference tbh. Id say that the nova will be highest due to age of car...

i guess nova.

tigra is in higher insurance grp than corsa (on same engine), and nova is old and not worth much, so reckon that'd be cheapest. (same as 300zx insurance can be cheaper than 200sx insurance)

but its an exstra £88 a month on insurance i could see i could be tempted if the right one came along
